Dark was an exquisite writer and her fictional retelling of the key moments in Australia's history, from the days when our first peoples "Saw the tall ships come" remains compelling after many decades. ( ) A fiction written in the late 30's early 40's that's a great insight into the views and thoughts of people involved in the first few years of settlement in Australia, especially in light of the prevailing view of aboriginals in the 40's. There must have been a lot of research into the diaries and letters from early settlement. The aboriginal viewpoint is perceptive and was well written. I enjoyed the read and will look at others she has written. The Timeless Land is the best kind of historical fiction. It meets the inhabitants of that time on their own terms, portraying the attitudes and personalities appropriately to the era. Dark also manages to present the natives (and the settlers) as real people with three-dimensional characters. I’m really looking forward to the next book in the trilogy. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

First published in 1941, Eleanor Dark's classic novel of the early settlement of Australia is a story of hardship, cruelty and danger. Above all it is the story of conflict: between the Aborigines and the white settlers. In this dramatic novel, introduced here by Humphrey McQueen, a large cast of characters, historical and fictional, black and white, convict and settler, brings alive those bitter years with moments of tenderness and conciliation amid the brutality and hostility. All the while, behind the veneer of British civilisation, lies the baffling presence of Australia, a timeless land that shares with England 'not even its seasons or its stars'.
